THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE

New Amsterdam Genomics is
powerfulinsightfullife-changing

We have created the world's first AI platform to help you and your doctor optimize your health, based on your DNA and other characteristics. For the
first time, our users do not merely have to react to symptoms they might have; they can proactively address the problems our algorithms predict are
most likely for them.

Personal Health AI Platform

N.A.G. starts by decoding your DNA using a new technology called whole exome sequencing, which examines all 22,000 genes of
the body. By contrast, traditional DNA tests look at DNA in just a few individual places or in just a few genes. N.A.G. provides a much broader view
and can reveal vastly more findings.

N.A.G. then uses natural language processing to ingest every available published paper in medical science and determine which results are most
applicable for your health. AI prioritizes your findings and matches them with actions your doctor can recommend to optimize your health.

What Can I Learn from My Results?

Am I at risk of a serious medical
problem, and can I do something today to stay healthier longer?

How can I tailor my diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices to optimize my health?

Which medicines, therapies, and supplements are safest and most effective for me?

Areas of Interest

You may have heard of the BRCA1 gene and its relation to breast cancer, but did you know that science has now identified more than 1000 genes that,
similar to BRCA1, are strongly related to cancer risk?
We examine all of these genes, whereas cancer gene panel tests typically look at just 20-80 (or 2-8% as many).
Our information can direct the type of screening a person receives, meaning cancer may be caught earlier and may be easier to treat.

There are three main types of cardiac problems: heart arrhythmias, structural heart disease, and coronary heart disease. We check for genetic risks
for all three. For example, we have identified patients who have rare cardiac defects. These people may have been at risk for effects as serious as sudden cardiac death, but with help from a cardiologist, they can potentially avoid this fate and live longer.

We can find the genetic basis of all sorts of chronic diseases including diabetes, asthma, eczema, multiple sclerosis, and more.
(However, genetics does not cause every disease; sometimes these diseases are caused by a person's lifestyle or simply bad luck.)
Understanding the basis of a chronic disease may unlock better ways to manage it.

Some people are interested in learning if they are at risk for dementia or neurodegenerative problems as they age.
We have helped many people determine their risk.
In some cases, we have been able to propose possible mitigation steps.
For example, you may have heard of ApoE4, which is one of the mutations most strongly related to Alzheimer's risk.
But did you know there are several studies showing specific diets that may reduce risk of Alzheimer's in people who have this mutation?

Our platform can help identify unique aspects of you that you and your doctors may not have fully appreciated.
For example, it is estimated that approximately 10% of people have what is called a "rare disease."
We believe the term "rare disease" sounds scarier than it really is: most rare diseases are not immediately life threatening, and knowing that you
have something rare could answer a lot of questions about your health.
It may explain symptoms you have, and it could enable your doctors to manage your health better.

The genes in the Cytochrome P450 complex have some of the strongest impacts on why certain medications work differently in some people as compared to others. (Click here for a Wikipedia article on Cytochrome P450.) We analyze these genes plus many others to predict which medicines will work best for each person. We can even in some cases determine ideal dosages for medicines.

Have you ever wondered why certain diets work better for some people than others? There is exciting research going on right now that compares how people perform on different diets, based on variations in their DNA. We have used these studies to suggest specific diets for people. A few options include the saturated fat diet (similar to Atkins); the monounsaturated fat diet (Mediterranean diet); and the high carbohydrate, low fat diet.

There are two neat aspects to our fitness recommendations. First, we can show you how different exercises affect your body in unique ways. For instance, we have results that say aerobic exercise may be more or less likely to improve your insulin sensitivity or more or less likely to improve your HDL (good cholesterol). The second neat aspect is that we can show you which types of fitness you are more likely to excel in. This can help you become a better athlete, if you are so inclined.

The average person carries multiple diseases in their DNA that they do not express themselves. Such diseases are called "recessive." These are not problems unless the person and their partner both carry the same recessive disease; in that case, the couple's children are at risk of becoming afflicted with that disease. Examples of recessive diseases include Cystic Fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, Familial Mediterranean fever, and Niemann-Pick disease. Recessive diseases can often be debilitating, so you really don't want your child to be afflicted. Therefore, even if you and your partner are completely healthy, it still can be a very good idea to check which recessive diseases you carry. To learn more about recessive diseases, here the US government has written a great explanation here.

Ancestry determination is included with our analysis. We compare your DNA with 52 different populations from around the globe. Which region of the world do your ancestors come from?

Key Aspects

Major Impacts

Traditional DNA tests generally only produced medical findings with small effect sizes (e.g. a 5% increased risk of something or a 10% decreased risk of something). We argue that these small findings are not very useful, because they probably would not change how you and your doctor manage your health. N.A.G., by contrast, routinely finds medical issues that people are multiple times higher risk for. The reason we can do this is that we scan and determine the impact of so many more mutations.

Special Requests

We are your partner in health. So if you or your doctor have specific areas of interest, we are happy to field special requests to answer how your genome may relate.

Comprehensive

We report on everything from significant medical findings to diet and exercise recommendations to ancestry. We report anything we can find about your DNA, so long as there is a peer-reviewed, published paper to back it up. There are currently more than 200,000 health-related findings in our database, and that number grows every day.

Advanced Computer Analysis

N.A.G. was founded on the premise that analyzing billions of DNA measurements and hundreds of thousands of research papers requires elite computer
programming to be done right. We have some of the best programmers in the world, and their superior algorithms will be applied to analyze your DNA.

* A patient's N.A.G. analysis alone does not typically provide the totality of information a doctor needs in order to provide the best care, treatment, or advice. N.A.G. has helped many people but makes no specific claims on how it will benefit any individual person. Please also see the paragraph below.

This website is marketing material and so is less precise than the technical and legal information we require patients and doctors to read prior to testing. N.A.G. collects specimens using FDA approved devices. N.A.G. is not "direct to consumer." N.A.G. is ordered through a doctor, and N.A.G. results are intended to be interpreted by a doctor. (MA state law prohibits laboratories from performing tests without a written request from a licensed physician, dentist, or other authorized person.) N.A.G. is not a substitute for a doctor. Doctors, using the totality of information the situation affords them, are always responsible for the final decision as to caring for a patient. N.A.G. testing does not guarantee to improve a patient's health or any other specific outcome. N.A.G. has many limitations, including, but not limited to: we typically analyze just the 1% of the genome known as the exome; there is a probability that any portion of our advertised coverage region happens to be incompletely sequenced; there are types of genomic variation that exome sequencing is not ideal at detecting; measurement errors can happen; and basic science's understanding of the impact of the genome on human health is still evolving. Some jurisdictions have restrictions on testing.
